Abstract
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been widely used in implementations of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) due to several reasons, like short turnaround time and time-to-market aspects. FPGAs are mainly based on a basic cell that consists e.g. of a Look-Up Table (LUT) or a Multiplexer (MUX) structure. Several successful approaches to technology mapping have been proposed in the last few years [Keu87, Kar91, BFRV92, MBS95] . In the meantime, not only the size of FPGA implementations has grown a lot (nowadays FPGAs can provide more than one million gates), but also their speed has increased tremendously, and therefore it is possible to use FPGAs even in time-critical applications.
